A yarn bombing group in Stapleford has spoken out after ‘heartbreaking’ vandalism to a post box topper which 'brightens up' Stapleford's high street. Yarn bombing is a form of art where types of knitted or crocheted art is displayed in the street.
The first knitted item was made by the group in December 2021. They have since created displays for the Queen’s Jubilee, Pride, Remembrance Day, Christmas and most recently 13 post box toppers in the town for World Book Day.
However the group were left ‘disappointed’ after one of their toppers was vandalised and one was stolen. Councillor Sue Paterson, a Stapleford resident and a member who runs Yarn Bombing Stapleford along with three others, said: "We did World Book Day and there were 13 toppers that went out for that.
